What a blessing to the country it would have been to have had President Harrison re elected. Congressman Hermann has been assured by the house committee on war claims that his bill for $500, 000 for Oregon and Washington Indian war claims will be made a part of the omnibus bill carrying $2,000,000. The chairman of the committee says this bill, like the river . and harbor appropriation, will go through for every member has something in it. Easter this year comes on the 25th of March, earlier than it has been before for many, years. In the year 1868 Easter .6u'nuay was on the 28th of Marchand that was the earliest for rrore than fifty years before. It can never be earlier than March 24th, and it has only been , that early once in a hundred yearjs. This indicates an early spring. Please Governor Pennoyer, make up vour mind as to what .day ybu will aliow the celebration ot faster in this neck o' the woods. Our old hen is growing anxious, and if you can arrange to have it happen about the 25th of next month, all will be well. The English woolen manufactur ers continue to gloat over the rich harvest they are to have in our market of 70,000,000 people, and " the Welsh tin' plate makers are equally as jubilant. Their contri butions should be very liberal to the next free trade campaign fund. " In congress the democratic com mittees totally disregard the claims for protection to industries that come to them for consideration. They will probsbly .find that the people will look at it in a different light when it comes to the ballot box. - Why, buy English, Scotch, Irish, German - and Bermuda potatoes when there are American farmers working hard to earn an honest living in our own country? What's the matter with American potatoes?,.:1.- ... '" ' "Why do they call it mad-winter fair?' The answer may be found lit.- A -r -I n m l WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, Feb. 12, 1894. . The Cleveland tariff bill is to be re ported to the senate this week. It is not to be torn all to pieces by the fi nance committee, as many had ex pected. It is ouly to be sufficiently amended before befog reported to gain the support of those democratic sena tors who had announced their inten tion to vote against it unless their de mands were complied with. Nothing has yet been officially given out con cerning these amendments, but it is re garded as certain that they will in- elude a duty on sugar, both raw and refined, and a duty on coal. These concessions to the senators from Mary land, Virginia, -West Virginia and Louisiana, are not to be called pro tection. The democratic party is oj posed to protection, you know. So the claim is to be made by the committee that these duties are, levied; solely for revenue purposes and with no inten tion to protect these industries. As a matter of cold, hard fact these pro posed amendments are not pleasing to the democrats, except those from the states that will be benefited, and they are only to Ce made "because the bill cannot be passed with even four democratic senators voting against jt, and as an offset the duties on a number of articles principally produced in states that are reliably republican are to be still further reduced." The in come tax is to remain in the bill, un less struck out by a vote of the sen ate. The republican senators will probably hold a conference as soon as the bill is reported in order determ ine upon the plan of opposition they will follow. The advice they are re ceiving from their constituents are somewhat contradictory. Some want them to merely put themselves on record as opposing the bill and then to allow it to be passed; others want them to use every legitimate parliamentary method to delay or defeat it. Coiom-l E. I T. Lee, or Monticello, 111., secretary of the Sliiloh battle 'field association, is in Washington tor the purpose of presenting to vthe con gressional committees the memorial adopted by i he association, asking con- giuos to purcliase the bnujefie'd of Shiloh und turn it into" a national nicni ni i.U park,, -The association at a tecent meeting held at Indianapolis unsigned Senators Harris of Tennes secpiShermau, of Ohio and Vilae, of Wisconsin, a committee to take charge of the memorial in the senate and the foilowinj; representatives to perform a like duly in the house: Col. D. B, Hendvrrsjn, of l-wa; Gen. Joseph Wiie It-r. of Alabama, and Gen. John C. Black, of Illinois. . Kepie.ientative Geary "Chinese Geary' lie is often called of Califor nia, is a democrat, but not a euckoo, as will be seen by the following lan guage of his: "I have as much respect for the president as any one else, but I do not see why congress should first learn the wishes of the president .ot consult the wishes of the executive de partments before legislating. Con gress is here to pass laws without con suiting anybody and I, for one, am growing tired of the constant interfer ence of the exculive departments in tne worK ot- congress. Let congress make its own laws, and if the presi dent does not like them, let him exer cise his constitutional prerogative snd veto them." That's the most sensible democratic speech of the session. " The charge was made several days ago that Secresary Gresham has had a long letter from President Dole to Minister Willis in his possession iiiore than a week, and that it was withheld from the house for fear that the terri ble arraignment of Willis in his tiouble dealing since arriving in Honolulu, which it contains, would have defeated the cuckoo resolution which the house was fairly driven to adopt last week, and the charge has not been denied. It certainly looks as though the admin istration were determined to siuk itself I to the bottom of the pit of public iu famy in dealing with Hawaii. Mr. Dole's letter is said to be something like ten thousand words long and to go into minute particulars concerning the acts of Minister Willis. The adminis tration people are claiming thai Sena tor Morgan has been placated and that he will join Senators Butler and Gray in the majority report of the Hawaiian investigation, which will jump on ex Minister Stevens and let paramount Blount and the administration down easy. . The silver men . are on top in the house, and the passing of Mr. Bland's bill for the coinage of the seigniorage is regarded as an assured fact, although its opponents are still fighting it hard and will continue to do so to the end, by filibusting or by any other method that promises to serve their purpose. They are talking veto rather' stongly. and it is said that some of the demo crats who will vote .for the bill will do so merely to square themselves with tueir silver constituents expecting the FOB BAD MONEY. A new factor in Oregon politics was born in Portland Friday night of last week. The promoters pro fess nonpartizanship, yet the major portion of these gentlemen appear to have prominent membership in the democratic party. The meet ing assembled in answer to a call addressed to uall persons who are in lavor of free silver coinage at therale of 16 to 1," and for the purpose of organizing an Oregon branch of the national bimetallic league. As stated by Chairman DeLashmutt, this combination of conspirators "believe that great wealth, combined with united action, is now shaping the affairs of those who diFei- with us, and who are now controlling the iu terests of inonQmetalism in this country and in Europe, and that it can only successfully be corn batted by un ted action and single ness of purpose. To this end we invite to our ranks men of all po litical beliefs. ISo man, to join with us, need forswear allegiance to his party, excepting as it stands upon this particular question. While we may not aggressively enter into politics, nor affix obli gations of fidelity to our pnnci pies, we will, however, never hesi--tale to rebuke politicians or par ties who ignore our existence or ail to heed our requests." In other words, this (between the ines) read as plainly as it printed in red letters m boldfaced type: "We are in favor of another than Dolph for the U. S. senate." Mr Dolph stood by the cause of good money during the late congres sional struggle ov6r the repeal ol the Sherman law, and now it looks as if those who have individual axes to grind, so to speak, are pre paring tor operation on tne po- itical grindstone and the object will be to grind out of office all opposed to the schemes favored by this league. Senator Dolph has been an honest," upright, faithful, constant and consistent public servant and should be retained in the positron to which he is so ad mirably fitted. HOW IT WAS BEF0BE. See how it was when the demo cratic par V was in power in years ong airo. Ihe following is from t he New York Tribune of January, 1855: On Saturday we spent an hour there (Orange and Catham streets, where charity gave dinners to the poor) at the hour of high tide. We have never seen anything like it before. Upward of 1,000 people were fed with a plate of soup, a piece of bread and piece of meat on the premises, and in all more than 1,600. On the same day 1,130 portions of soup were dealt out from Stew art's "soup kitchen'1 in the rear of the great store, corner Reade street and Broad way. At the rooms on Duane street for the relief of the poor on the same day they gave food to 2,256. In the 6th ward alone over 6,000 persons were fed by charity on Satur day, January 16. And this is only one day in one ward. Meanwhile scenes of a lik nature are being enacted all over the city. A procession of several thousand persons kept marching, about the streets yesterday with Hags and banners whice bore such in suriptions as, "Hunger is a Sharp Thorn, "The I ast Resource," "Live and Let Live, "We Want Work." etc., etc. Such are the scenes that are being enacted daily before our eyes, while the cry of hard times reaches us from every part of the country. The making of roads is stopped, factories are closed and houses and ships are no longei being built. Factory hands, roadmakers, carpenters, bricklayers, and laborers are idle. Paialysis is rapidly embracing every pursuit in the country. The cause of all this stoppage of circulation is found in the steady outflow of gold to pay foreign laborers for the cloth, the shoes, the iron and the other things that could be produced by American labor, but which cannot be produced under our present revenue system If it be not stopped (the democratic reve nue-only tariff system) we shall see tens of tnousamls of men every where crying: "Give' me work. Only give me work. .Make your own terms. My have nothing to eat." wife and children The Oregonian says that the senate finance committee is. mak ing desperate effort to secure as sent of all democratic senators to the Wilson bill before reporting it. This is the explanation of the de lay. The Louisiana senators have been most intractable, threatening to fight the bill on the floor of the senate it the duty on sugar were not restored. It is possible that the nomination of -White to the supreme bench is designed to miti gate the-hostilty of himself and colleague to Mr. Cleveland's pet measure. "The president found out long ago that patronage goes farther than argument in convinc ing democratic members of con- Seuator White, of Louisiana, has been nominated by the presi dent and confirmed by the senate as an associate justice of the su preme court,of the. United States. This nomination was a complete surprise to the public and its hur ried confirmation was due wholy to a system of senatorial courtesy long since established in that aug ust body the confirmation of the nomiuaUon - of a member of s that body without eventa reference to a committee Quite a 'contrast betw.en the reception of "this nun- ' 1 " 1 CHornblower A REPUBLICAN CLUB SONG.

Govebxor and Mrs. McKinley are again in possession of the prop erty conveyed to trustees last summf r, when the governor was forced to make an assijninent. This result is due to the efforts of Trustees H. II. Kohlsadt, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Col. Myron TV Herrick, of Cleveland, and Judge Wm. R. Day, of Canton. When these gentlemen received the trust, they decided without consulting the governor to raise money with which to meet the governor's , obligations. This has been fully done by private sub scriptions. Final papers have been signed in the probate court at Canton, and the property deeded back to the governor and Mrs. McKinley, and the trustees discharged. The warning voice of the repub lican cause was sounded in Penn sylvania on Monday last to the tune of a' plurality vote of over 150,000,000 tor Gal.usha A. Grow, the republican candidate lor con- gressman-at-large. The vote was the largest ever given any candi date for any position in the history of the state. 11ns is a sample ot public opinion on the questions of the day. It is a coincidence that the three men best known by their tariff bills are named Bill. There is Bill Morrison, Bill McKinley and BiJl Wilson, and the greatest of all is neither the first nor the last. Nice Canadian apples, dufy freej may (dis)grace the white house table hereafter. They should be served upon a dish of foreign cheap-labor crockery ware. Most of our republican exchan ges contain notices of the meeting of their county central commit tees, evidencing the fact that the party is awake throughout the state.

Wilsox, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur" Springs, Texas, thus speaks of Ayer's Pills : ' Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; and, in my Judgment, no better general remedy could be devised. I have used them la my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints have been completely and ' Permanently Cured by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb agne, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I . know that a moderate use bf Ayer's Pills, continued for afew days or weeks, as the nature of the complaint required, wonld be found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above."
